Eddie Jordan banned from visiting Michael Schumacher

Eddie Jordan, a well-known figure in Formula One, was banned from visiting his close friend Michael Schumacher after Schumacher's skiing accident in 2013. Jordan played a key role in Schumacher's career, giving him his Formula One debut. Despite their friendship, Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, did not allow Jordan to see him during his recovery. In an interview, Jordan shared that he tried to visit Schumacher early on, but Corinna refused, saying that too many people wanted to see him. After the accident, she established a "family only" rule for visitors. Former Ferrari boss Jean Todt received special permission to visit because of their close bond. Jordan understood Corinna's need for privacy, explaining how difficult the situation was for her and Schumacher’s son, Mick. He noted that Corinna had not been able to enjoy normal activities since the accident, as people often wanted to talk about Michael. Eddie Jordan passed away after a battle with cancer, leaving a significant legacy in racing as a driver, team owner, and pundit. In one of his final messages, he encouraged fans to get early cancer screenings, sharing his own diagnosis that had progressed aggressively.
